This was a good recipie. Very tasty--everyone liked it a lot. The only thing is that it was a bit dry. I dont know if it is my oven or the altitude difference. I live in Southwestern BC. Next time I would bake it for only 40-45 min and it would be perfect.

WOW! This was a really great soup. Very tasty and looks very nice! I used a nice Shiraz instead of sherry and used 4 cubes of McCormick beef boullion to 5-6 cups of water instead of canned broth. I also used about 1/2 cup very tiny hoop-shaped pasta instead of orzo. I will make this again and again, so easy and full of flavor--amazing! Thanks a lot!

Very good. I used stir fry pork instead. As well I used burgundy cooking wine instead of vinegar and port. I left the browned pork in the pan and sprinkled with cilantro and garlic and then sauteed the liquid until half of it was dissolved. Awesome over a bed of rice with some drippings from the pan!

I definately agree that the dressing should be halved, waaaaay too much. I made this salad for our Canadian Thanksgiving and everyone went crazy for it!! I changed it to 8 servings and no one could get enough! Goes great with Turkey!
